You click on settings and if first choice (encrypt wallet) is grayed out then wallet has password otherwise it doesn't have password.

Also, in the bottom right corner you should see a little padlock.  When you hover over it, a message "wallet is encrypted...etc" appears.

Thanks for posting a useful query for once!

Perhaps make sure, you use a very strong encryption password including characters like &*^@$#*&¶•∞§¶£˙©.

But make sure to make a physical note of it so you dont forget it!

It is best to save it in password.txt and put it next to bitcoin-core. (just kidding  ;))
